Marked on the blades stainless steel. There are 6 butter knives, 1 sharper smaller knife, 5 teaspoons, and 5 forks. I included this one white fork, but it is not believed to be bakelite, just a stray fork that made its way into the set. There is some discoloration on some of the handles, but they all appear to be firmly attached to the utensil. On one spoon, there is a small piece of the metal broken off on the bottom side where the metal meets the handle, but it is still holding.
